About Dog Training

Dog training is a necessary adjunct to keeping dogs as pets. Dogs, particularly larger ones, must be obedient, or keeping them becomes a burden.

In addition to their appreciation for being fed, as pack animals dogs have natural instincts that favor training. These instincts are manifested as a desire to please a handler. This gives the dog trainer an unbeatable edge in shaping the dog's behavior.

While dogs can be trained for complex behaviors, such as rescue work, circus acts, or medical diagnosis, there are certain elements of training that almost all dogs can learn, to the benefit of both dog and handler.
